What I Was Thinking When Daisy Hit Myrtle


What a night! The night began with the revealing of Daisy and I’s relationship to her husband Tom. It did not go well, and Tom ordered both of us to leave and go home. Daisy chose to drive, which thinking back now was not a clever idea. She was distraught and clearly not in the right state of mind to drive. Then, all a sudden, we hit something. It was Myrtle. I immediately decided that Daisy was not going to take the blame. I would take the blame. I knew that it would be traced back to my car. But first, I had to get Daisy home. After, I got Daisy inside and settled, I returned home and began to formulate a plan. I could tell the truth, which wasn’t going to happen. I could say it wasn’t my car, but if someone saw us that wouldn’t work. Lastly, I could take the blame. The latter was looking like the best option. I was not going to let this tragedy fall onto Daisy. She already had enough problems that stemmed from Tom. I wish he could have been the one driving the car. All of this would have been so much easier then. There would not have had to be a cover up. All this secrecy could have been avoided. Hopefully all of this will get sorted out.

Why I Changed My Name

I invented my new identity to fit the image that I wanted to portray. I grew up in North Dakota. My parents were dirt poor, however as a child, I knew that I was destined for greatness. I knew that I was not meant to be a poor farmer barely surviving in North Dakota. I was bound to be rich and well known. I realized that to do this, I had to run away. I needed to forge my own path to fulfill my destiny. Some years later, I saw a boat about to crash into the rocks on Lake Superior. I quickly rowed over and steered the vessel to safety. The owner turned out to be a very wealthy businessman. He took me under his wing and taught me how to be a gentleman and the ways of doing business. This is when I changed my name from James Gatz to Jay Gatsby. After this, I felt reborn. I felt as if I had finally begun my actual life. I knew that it would be filled with luxury, wealth, and pleasure. I had the skills that I needed and now a new name. I would no longer be known as a poor farmer from Nort...

How I Felt When I saw Daisy Again

Wow, today was the day. I finally was able to see Daisy. I had waited so long for this moment. It was why I moved to New York, and I had planned this day since I had gotten back from the war. When I woke up, I was nervous for some reason. I am never nervous. Today was different though, everything had to be perfect. I sent gardeners to go make Nick’s little house look acceptable. I told them to cut the grass, plant flowers, and spruce the place up a bit. I don’t think it was overboard, although Nick seemed a little skeptical. As the hour arrived, I couldn’t sit still. I was not my normal self. I arrived at Nick’s and waited for Daisy to arrive. It was one minute past the time she was supposed to arrive when I started to have second thoughts. I started to feel that this was not going to work, but Nick reassured me that it was going to be alright. Then I heard the car, my heart skipped a beat. I was again as nervous as I had ever been. She walked in, and I quickly ran out into the rain....

How I Felt When Tom Found Out About Our Relationship

From the onset, I knew that one day Tom would find out about my relationship with Daisy. I knew that the man already did not like me very much, so I was concerned what he would do when he found out. In my heart, I felt that the decision should be with Daisy. However, I do not believe that he will honor that choice. That is why when I was asked to lunch at the Buchanan’s I was quite nervous but also excited to finally get the ball rolling. When I arrived, Daisy suggested that we all go into the city. I could feel Tom’s hawk-like eyes piercing into me. He was suspicious. When we arrived at the Plaza Hotel, Tom pulled me aside to confront me. This is when I broke the news to Tom. I felt free of the burden of the secret. However, I did not know how Tom would respond. As the conversation grew on Tom grew increasingly agitated and annoyed. I started to feel anxious. I could feel that Tom was about to burst out in anger. The powder keg exploded when I told Tom that Daisy was going to leave ...
